Shame Bird

Shame bird is flying, shame, shame on someone
Shame bird is flying, shame, shame on somebody
That someone is me
Don¡¯t crook your finger at me
If you see me walking by
I¡¯m not the same guy when I¡¯m high, ha

Well it may be out¡¯a sight and I can¡¯t see it
It may be out¡¯a sight and I can¡¯t see it
It may be out¡¯a sight and I can¡¯t see it
I guess the reason being maybe I can¡¯t be it

I say shame bird is flying, shame, shame on someone
Shame bird is flying, shame, shame on somebody
That someone is me
Don¡¯t crook your finger at me
If you see me walking by
I¡¯m not the same guy when I¡¯m high Well it may be out¡¯a sight and I can¡¯t see it
It may be out¡¯a sight and I can¡¯t see it
It may be out¡¯a sight and I can¡¯t see it
I guess the reason being maybe I can¡¯t be it

I say shame bird is flying, shame, shame on someone
Shame bird is flying, shame, shame on somebody
That someone is me
Don¡¯t crook your finger at me
If you see me walking by
I¡¯m not the same guy when I¡¯m high
Lord knows
